text_original: It is impossible to tell in detail the story of Heraclius' campaigns, which closed with a great victory at Nineveh and the sack of Chosroes' palace near Ctesiphon. Meanwhile, in 626, the Avars, acting as allies of the Persians, besieged Constantinople, which was splendidly defended by Bonus the patrician and by the Roman fleet, which guarded the Bosphorus and so prevented the Persians from sending help to their allies.
